Title: resent notification email incomplete Last modified: August 28, 2026 --- # resent notification email incomplete * [jpgoem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpgoem/) * (@jpgoem) * [1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resent-notification-email-incomplete/) * I am experiencing the following problem: a form with a repeating field group, and a field is a calculation based on a field of the group. - The calculated field is correct in the form. - The calculated field is correct in the submissions. - The calculated field is correct in the notification email. - The calculated field is **missing** if I resend the notification email. * The problem only occurs if the repeating field group contains at least 2 rows. It does not occur if the repeating field group contains only one row. * Here is a sample form export : [https://pastebin.com/v3wPaVZm](https://pastebin.com/v3wPaVZm) * Can you help ?

Unfortunately, I could’t find an easy solution, any fix will require be done at the plugin level. * A possible workaround if you need existing data is to use the Submission > export to manually get the data and send via email. * We reported to our developers and I hope we can include it in a near release, you can also follow our roadmap at [https://wpmudev.com/roadmap#dev-subscribe](https://wpmudev.com/roadmap#dev-subscribe) * Best Regards Patrick Freitas * [Zeba Afia Shama](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zebaafiashama/) * (@zebaafiashama) * [6 days, 10 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resent-notification-email-incomplete/#post-19006122) * Hi [@wpmudevsupport12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport12/), [@jpgoem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpgoem/) I dug into this one out of curiosity and found the root cause, in case it’s useful for your dev team. * Root cause: In library/modules/custom-forms/front/front-action.php (Forminator 1.57.2), Forminator_CForm_Front_Action::set_field_data_array() only saves the- copies entry meta, which records how many rows a repeater group has — when the submission is a draft. For a completed submission, that value only exists in memory for the original request and is never written to the entry meta table. * When you click Resend Notification Email, the resend path rebuilds the submission data purely from stored meta (recreate_prepared_data()). Since -copies was never saved, the visibility engine can’t tell that row 2+ of the repeater exists, so any field depending on those rows, like a Calculation field using the {field-*} wildcard to sum across the group, gets treated as unresolved and silently dropped from the resent email. A single-row group never needs -copies data at all, which is exactly why it only reproduces with 2+ rows. * Suggested fix: persist the actual row-index array for real submissions too, not just drafts: * // in set_field_data_array(), right after the existing `if ( self::$is_draft ){...}` block: * } elseif ( ‘group’ === $field_type && ! empty( self::$prepared_data[ $element_id.‘- copies’ ] ) ) { // Persist the actual repeated-row indexes for completed submissions too, not only drafts.// Without this, resend_notification_email()’s recreate_prepared_data() has no way to know// how many rows the repeater had, so check_fields_visibility() never marks fields in rows// beyond the first as visible – breaking any calculation( e.g. `{field-*}`) or other field// that depends on them, once the group has 2 + rows.self::$info[‘field_data_array’][] = array(‘name’ => $element_id . ‘-copies’,‘ value’ => self::$prepared_data[ $element_id . ‘-copies’ ],);} * That elseif sits right after the closing brace of the existing if ( self::$is_draft){…} block, before the // if certain field types – go to next field. line. * Tested locally: reproduced with the exact form export from this thread (2-row repeater, {number-1-*} calculation). Before the change, resending an entry with 2 rows drops the Calculations line entirely; a fresh submission made after the change resends with the calculated value intact, matching the original notification.
